Fanelli's Cafe

We love Fanelli's even if the food is not the most spectacular. It's the rare place that remains true to itself and can proudly boast, on any day, a mixed crowd of regulars, local office peeps and tourists. We keep going back despite the lackluster lunching. Until today. Today we are happy, delighted and excited to tell you there is hope. It's taken a long time to find the right dishes, the internet has proved unhelpful in this search. But finally we can wholeheartedly recommend the BLT for its thick crispy bacon, the onion rings for a great crunchy shell and the french toast for an absolutely perfect yeasty texture with a moist but never soggy finish.Fanelli's Cafe, 94 Prince St, NY, NY 10012 (at Mercer)
